A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

"Bang!"

Jiang Chen slammed his hand on the desk, the loud sound startling half the class.

"Jiang Chen!!!"

On the podium, Pan Zhenhua's voice boomed like thunder.

Everyone in the class felt a jolt and looked up at the podium.

Pan Zhenhua's face was ashen, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and the chalk in his hand snapped in two with a "crack".

"It's you! It's you! It's you again!"

Pan Zhenhua pointed a trembling finger at Jiang Chen: "You were sleeping at your desk as soon as morning self-study started, and I didn't even bother you. And now you're banging on the desk again?"

"Jiang Chen, tell me, what exactly are you doing at school?"

"There are only three months left until the college entrance exam! It's fine if you don't want to study, but please don't disturb others' studies!"

"From now on, you don't need to come to any of my classes! This classroom can't hold you, so get out!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the class was quiet for two seconds, then a suppressed chuckle broke out.

"Pfft... Jiang Chen again?"

"What's wrong with this fat guy lately? Sleeping in class is one thing, but now he even dares to bang on the table?"

"He doesn't actually think the homeroom teacher has a bad temper, does he?"

"Sigh, although this fat guy seems to have lost some weight, grown taller, and become fairer through exercise recently, and looks a bit better, he's still hopeless at heart!"

"Do you think he'll do what he did last time and happily run off?"

"Absolutely! Last time he got kicked out, he was grinning like he'd won the lottery!"

Many people turned their attention to Jiang Chen.

We're just waiting to see if this bald, fat guy will scurry out of the classroom.

however.

Jiang Chen stood up.

He straightened his back, faced the podium, and bowed very sincerely.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong!"

The voice was clear, and the attitude was proper.

The whole class: "???"

Everyone was stunned.

Pan Zhenhua was also taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

"I promise I'll study hard from now on!" Jiang Chen continued, "Please don't let me leave!"

Wow!!

The classroom fell silent instantly, so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the clock on the blackboard.

Not far away, Xu Yunzhou's pen fell to the ground with a "thud," but he didn't pick it up. He just stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes.

What's going on?

Fatty Jiang...apologized?

Do I still need to study hard?

What the hell is this?

Shouldn't he smile and say, "Thank you, teacher, goodbye," and then run away?

This script is wrong!

Pan Zhenhua squinted and carefully examined Jiang Chen.

This student seems a little different today.

His bald head was so shiny it reflected light, his skin was ridiculously white, and he actually looked... kind and gentle?

But what caught Pan Zhenhua's attention even more was Jiang Chen's gaze—clear, earnest, without the usual evasiveness or perfunctoriness.

"Jiang Chen, do you... really want to study?" Pan Zhenhua's tone softened slightly.

"Absolutely true!" Jiang Chen nodded.

Pan Zhenhua remained silent for a few seconds.

Everyone in the class held their breath, waiting to see the homeroom teacher's reaction.

Finally, Pan Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Alright, since you want to learn, I'll give you another chance!"

"Sit down! You don't need to go out today!"

"But let me make this clear: from today onwards, I'll be keeping an eye on you. If I find you sleeping in class, causing trouble, or not studying at all..."

Pan Zhenhua's voice turned serious: "Then I won't just kick you out of the classroom. I'll call your parents to the school directly, understand?"

"Understood! Thank you, teacher!"

Jiang Chen answered crisply and immediately sat down.

Upon seeing this, there was another subtle commotion in the class.

"Holy crap... they really stayed?"

"Is the homeroom teacher being so agreeable today?"

"It's not that the homeroom teacher is easy to talk to, it's just that Jiang Chen's attitude is too good, isn't it? He's never been this well-behaved before!"

"Did the sun rise in the west?"

"Could he be possessed by an evil spirit...?"

Jiang Chen ignored these discussions.

After he sat down, he immediately started rummaging through the drawer.

"Splash! Splash!!!"

The sound of textbooks being turned over was particularly clear in the quiet classroom.

Tang Ruoxi, who was in the front row, couldn't help but turn around and look, her eyes widening instantly.

On Jiang Chen's desk were five compulsory Chinese textbooks from the first year of high school to the third year, neatly arranged.

He opened the first book, his gaze fixed on the page, his expression as focused as if he were reading some kind of mysterious book.

"He...he's really reading a Chinese textbook?"

Tang Ruoxi muttered to herself, her voice filled with disbelief.

Hao Yingjun, who was standing next to him, also leaned over, his chubby face filled with shock: "Brother Chen, are you alright? Should we go to the infirmary?"

Jiang Chen didn't even look up: "Shut up, I'm studying!"

Hao Yingjun: "...It's over, I'm really possessed!"

The other students in the class also noticed Jiang Chen's unusual behavior.

"Look, look! Fatty Jiang is really reading a book!"

"My God, he's actually reading 'Li Sao'?"

"Isn't he the one who hates memorizing classical Chinese texts the most? I remember once in class I asked him to recite 'The Memorial to the Throne on the Eve of the Northern Expedition,' and he got stuck after reciting three sentences..."

"Could it be just a show for the homeroom teacher?"

"Possibly. He can pretend for two or three minutes, then lie down again when the homeroom teacher isn't looking!"

however.

A minute passed.

Three minutes have passed.

Five minutes passed.

Jiang Chen remained in that position, his gaze rapidly moving across the pages, his fingers occasionally tracing the words lightly.

He was very fast, turning page after page, the sound of turning pages almost never stopping.

"Is he reading a book?"

Xu Yunzhou's attention remained fixed on Jiang Chen. "How can you remember anything by flipping through things so quickly?"

"Just pretending! What else could it be?" someone who was on good terms with Xu Yunzhou scoffed.

But soon, their smiles faded.

Jiang Chen finished flipping through a high school Chinese textbook in less than five minutes.

Next comes compulsory course two, compulsory course three...

His speed did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it increased.

Moreover, his expression was extremely focused, his eyes were clear, and there was no sign of pretense, restlessness, or guilt.

[Ding! You've received 5 points of amazement!]

[Ding! You've received 8 points of amazement!]

[Ding! You've received 10 points of amazement!]

The system notification sounded cheerfully in Jiang Chen's mind.

He secretly rejoiced: "Yes, yes, keep the surprise coming! Bring on the surprises, I don't mind!"

But on the surface, he remained as steady as ever, his eyes fixed on the textbook.

At this moment, his brain is working at high speed.

From "Li Sao": "I sigh deeply and wipe away my tears, lamenting the hardships of the people's lives..."

The poem "Free and Easy Wandering" says: "In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans..."

The Memorial on Dispatching the Troops states: "The late emperor passed away before his great undertaking was half completed, and now the empire is divided into three, with Yizhou exhausted..."

Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng: "Yuzhang, the old prefecture, Hongdu, the new capital. Its stars align with the constellations of Wing and Chariot, its land borders Heng and Lu..."

From "Ode to the Red Cliff": "In the autumn of the year Renxu, on the sixteenth day of the seventh month, Su Shi and his guests went boating on the Red Cliff..."

These classical Chinese texts, which once gave him splitting headaches and made him want to memorize them until he was about to collapse, are now as clear as if they were imprinted in his mind.

No, it's not just similar, it's imprinted in my mind.

With an exceptional memory and the ability to remember everything at a glance, this skill is practically tailor-made for learning Chinese.

then……

In less than half an hour.

Jiang Chen finished reading all five compulsory Chinese textbooks for high school students.

I didn't just skim through it; I read it word for word from beginning to end and memorized it all.

He can even close his eyes and retrieve any page of content from his mind without making a mistake, down to the punctuation.

"This cheat code is... absolutely insane!" Jiang Chen exclaimed inwardly.

But soon, he realized another problem.

"Wait a minute, can I really get a perfect score on the college entrance exam just by relying on my super memory?"

Although he wasn't good at studying in his previous life, he knew one thing: rote memorization can indeed improve grades, but it will never make you a top student.

In high school, memory is just the foundation.

More importantly, it requires comprehension, analytical skills, logical reasoning ability, spatial imagination, etc.

To put it bluntly, it comes down to intelligence.

What is Jiang Chen's current IQ?

88 points.

It's clearly written on the system panel.

This score is just average for adults, far from being considered "intelligent," let alone "genius."

"Even if I memorized all the textbooks for Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, I could only get into a second-tier or first-tier university at best, and even a top-tier university would be a challenge, let alone a perfect score of 750..."

Jiang Chen felt a pang of anxiety upon thinking about this.

A perfect score on the college entrance exam?

A billion yuan in start-up capital?

It sounds wonderful, but what if it can't be done...?

Permanently gaining 100 pounds?

"System, you're ruthless!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.

But despite the complaints, the task still had to be done.

He glanced at the system panel.

[Amazing Value: 100 points]

It's time to redeem the attributes.

Physique? That's enough for now. 30 points in physique is comparable to a national first-class athlete. One more point wouldn't make much difference.

Facial features? 78 points, slightly above average, not bad!

The main problem right now is that he hasn't lost weight, and he still has a lot of fat on his face, which is affecting his appearance!

So even if your facial features are improved to 88 points, you still won't be that handsome.

Then there's only one answer.

"System, convert all your amazing points into intelligence!"

Jiang Chen made a decisive order in his mind.

[Ding! Exchange successful! IQ +10, current IQ: 98 points!]

The moment the notification tone ends.

Jiang Chen felt as if his brain had been washed by a cool spring.

That feeling is hard to describe.

It's like a lens that was originally covered with a thin layer of fog, suddenly being wiped clean and made clear.

It's like a slow-running computer suddenly having its CPU and memory upgraded.

My thinking speed has increased.

My comprehension skills have improved.

The classical Chinese texts he had just "memorized" were now being automatically analyzed, categorized, and connected in his mind...

The sorrow and indignation of "Li Sao", the magnanimity of "Xiaoyao You", the loyalty of "Chu Shi Biao", the magnificence of "Tengwang Ge Xu", the philosophical thoughts of "Chibi Fu"...

He wasn't just memorizing; he was understanding, feeling, and integrating the knowledge...
